I lost all my widgets too and had to start over. :(
It looks cool.
I love the new look! Awesome. Love that you're diving into sci-fi too. It's a really fun genre. So many great authors out there.
I've tried new templates and lost my widgets as well. If you get them back, tell me how. I love the 3 columns too.
I love it! I've been reading you in my Google Reader, and one doesn't get to see changes unless they are announced. How are you liking it?
I tried to turn my BookAwardsChallenge pic into a widget like yours and failed. Someday...Maybe
I love the colors. I'm not sold on the three column thing that a lot of people are trying out, but it won't stop me from coming out here. ;)
I really wanted a three column template...maybe next time!
In terms of losing stuff, I would suggest always making a copy into wordpad of your template before you load the new ones in, then you can always just transfer the appropriate pieces of code as you need them.
Well....I really like the 3 column thing. I started out plain white with black print and decided to change all the colors. I'm still not sure whether I like them or not! I will have to play around with it.
I did save the old template. That's where I'm going to have to go to get all the widgets back!!
For your reviews on the side, you should link the ones that you have reviewed so people can click on them and be taken to your review.
Great template, though!
I like the colours, very different from before.
Do you lose all your old posts when you change the template?
Hi Stephanie - Thank you for stopping by my blog. Always nice to meet another booklover :)
It looks great, Stephanie!
i love the unicorns!
I love the new look! I've really been thinking about redesigning my blog...I'm just a little scared to try it :). I have to admit, I don't know if I'm just blind or what, but the black background with blue lettering is a bit hard to read...you might want to try a little bit lighter color for the letters.
Just a suggestion! Looks fantastic, though.
I like it a lot! I've wanted a 3-column for a while, but I haven't started fiddling with mine yet.
The new header looks so good!
